Uncle's HandsUpdated at Feb 27, 2025, 01:46
"My mother was responsible for my feelings towards my uncle Levi, but I was responsible for making him feel the same before the end of this summer..."
Words would fail if I were asked to describe uncle's hands, they were large, bulging and beautiful, with veins entwining, creating the most beautiful of designs.
I longed to be held by those hands, touched by those hands, it has been my birthday wish every year since I turned eighteen.
And if a hazy memory from a drunk evening serves me right, uncle was dying to touch me as well, and if he cannot remember, I will make him remember.
